Sweden to build reindeer bridges over roads and railways

Renoducts' will help animals who have to roam further for food due to global heating

Sweden is to build up to a dozen bridges so reindeer can safely cross railway lines and major roads in the north of the country as global heating forces them to roam further afield in search of food.

State broadcaster SVT said the transport authority aimed to start work on the first of the new bridges, named renoducts", a portmanteau from ren (reindeer) and viaduct, later this year near the eastern city of Umea.
